Recent Trends in Transportation Infrastructure, Volume 1

This book presents the select proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Transportation Infrastructure Projects: Conception to Execution (TIPCE 2022) and emphasizes the understanding of transportation infrastructure projects being conceptualized, designed, and executed so as to bring the desired development in the focused area. It comprises case studies from the transportation sector, construction industries, consulting agencies, and academia. These studies present the bottlenecks experienced during the implementation of the projects, from their conceptualization to their execution and the corrective measures that were incorporated to finish the work. The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in construction planning and technology, infrastructure engineering, highway engineering, traffic and transportation planning and systems.
